Ops Evening Shift Summary
Ops Shift Log: 06/17/2019, Evening Shift 23:00 – 07:00 (16:00 - 00:00) Time - UTC (PT)
State of H1: Locked at NLN, range of 115.9Mpc, with 37.2W of power
Intent Bit: Observing
Support: Georgia
Incoming Operator: TJ
Shift Summary: At 01:27 (18:27) got a CRC error due to problem with H1IOPISCEY. Called Dave B., see aLOG 50009. Lost lock at 01:53 (18:53) as expected when Dave rebooted H1ISCEY. Reset End-Y ISI and HEPI tripped WDs.
 
  At 02:01 (19:01) started relocking. Initially had some issues getting Y-Arm Green to lock. At the time there were several wind gusts in the mid 30mph range. After things settled a bit could reliably lock both arms green. Had to tweak the BS and PRM to get through DRMI_1F. After this, no additional adjustments were needed.
 
   At 03:02 (20:02) and 03:23 (20:23) lost lock at ENG_SOFT_LOOPS. Georgia is looking into these lock losses.
   Have been seeing 30 plus mph gusts at End-X, which is not helping the relocking.
 
   Arrived back at NLN. Accepted several SDF Diffs. Did an INIT on LOCKLOSS_SHUTTER_CHECK node as it was stuck on SHUTTER_FAIL. This was a leftover from the H1ISCEY crash.
   Back in Observing.
 
   Switched to EARTHQUAKE mode for mag5.5 in Tonga. Switched back to WINDY after quake passed.
   The wind remains high (consistently over 20mph) but are laying down a bit.

We lost lock engaging the soft loops a few times this evening.

It looked like the corner ASC could not keep up when we switched on the arm dither loops, symptom: power recycling gain goes up, rf18 buildup drops, we lose lock.

I removed 10dB of gain from the arm dither loops (pit4, pit5, yaw4, yaw5) when they first come on (set in PREP_ASC_FOR_FULL_IFO), and added the 10dB back in later in ENGAGE SOFT LOOPS. This worked by hand, so I put it in the guardian.

Dave was thinking we could restart this ISCEY computer without affecting the SEI or the SUS platforms and we all agreed until we realized we shouldn't have.  There was no impact on the models of the SEI or the SUS but, ALS is bleeding the Tidal Drive from the ETM to the HEPI.  When the ALS came back on with zero Tidal Drive, the HEPI was jerked back to zero offset.  The HEPI tripped on this 6 seconds before the ISI tripped when the T240 tilted off or got slung sideways by the HEPI.  Attached is 4 hours showing the tidal drive on HEPI coming from the ALS (lower left) going flat and then jerking this way and that on its way to zero when the other channels, the ISI's T240s, start railing.

I find interesting that the T240 signals all go flat when the ALS does with the Kernel panic but maybe that would be expected too.

We'll endeavor to implement some procedure to hold this output on the HEPI and then bleed it off at an acceptable rate.

h1iscey kernel panic

The general cores on h1iscey have locked up. The models on this front end continue to run (pemey, iscey, alsey, caley) but their EPICS and DAQ data is invalid.

All front ends which share h1iscey's port on h1dc0 have invalid data, which should clear once mx_stream is going again on h1iscey.

I am starting the reboot process.

I have recovered h1iscey by remotely resetting it via its IPMI port. Procedure was:

  • take h1iscey out of the dolphin fabric
  • issue cpu reset via the IPMI management system

Once the mx_stream was restarted on h1iscey, the DAQ errrors on the other system cleared. 

Handing over to Jeff B for IFO recovery.

Details, taking h1iscey out of Dolphin fabric and verification:

david.barker@zotws6: ./dolphin_switch_port_status.sh h1iscey

h1iscey Switch_IP 10.101.0.94 Switch_port 3 is ENABLED

Ops Evening Shift Transition
Ops Shift Transition: 06/17/2019, Evening Shift 15:00 – 23:00 (08:00 -16:00) - UTC (PT)
State of H1: Locked at NLN with 113.3Mpc of range
Intent Bit: Observing
Weather: Skies are partly cloudy, with winds gusting up to the mid-20s mph. No rain is in the forecast. Temperatures now in the low 90s are expected to dip down to the upper 50s.      
Primary 0.03 – 0.1Hz: 0.02um/s
Secondary 0.1 – 0.3Hz: 0.05mu/s
Outgoing Operator: Travis
Quick Summary: IFO has been locked for 12.5 hours and observing for 2.25 hours. The IFO dropped out of Observing for a few minutes when the day shift transitioned to EARTHQUAKE mode. This has been fixed so SEI_CONF modes can be switched without changing the intent bit.

Transitioned back to WINDY around 21:00.  Forgot to log the exact time since Hugh just fixed the SDF issue so we no longer drop out of Observe and I don't have a Verbal timestamp.

hugh.radkins@LIGO.ORG - 16:27, Tuesday 18 June 2019 (50047)

The SDF issue dropping us out of observing was the ETMX ISI Stage1 X Y Z CPS T240 & L4C BLND NXT filters.  ETMY/ITMY & ITMX all had these filter banks Not Monitored.  These ETMX channels were switched to Not Monitored.

Travis's 4-word aLOG claimed the 50000th aLOG and thus we honored this amazing achievement with the attached LHO Paper Plate Award!

"This award goes to Travis Sadecki for his 5 words in the 50,000th aLOG (LHO aLOG 50000)."

A truly astounding achievement.
Who will claim the 100000th aLOG???

H1 ISI CPS Noise Spectra Check - Weekly

BS ST2 has a pair of peaks between 1-2 Hz.  Note that we are currently in the EARTHQUAKE SEI configuration with an EQ ringing down, so not sure if this effects these spectra.

hugh.radkins@LIGO.ORG - 11:19, Monday 17 June 2019 (49998)

This spectra is taken some number of hours before the 'run' time, eight or something hours I'd guess.  This puts this auto spectra right in the middle of a nearly four hour out of full IFO period where in the SEI BS will be in ISOLATED_DAMPED mode for potentially much of the time.

Patrick and Corey are working the problem.

corey.gray@LIGO.ORG - 08:33, Wednesday 12 June 2019 (49841)

The time for the error Dave mentions above coincides  with the H1 Lockloss (and issues with IMC) at 13:21utc (6:21amPDT).

Patrick has tracked this down to the Corner Chasis 4 in the CER and says this may need to get pulled.  Fil has been notified and will work with Patrick.

corey.gray@LIGO.ORG - 08:49, Wednesday 12 June 2019 (49843)

For something like this which might have taken H1 down, should this be a Verbal Alarm?  (only way an operator would know about this issue is to happen to catch the red box on the CDS Overview (which we both didn't notice).

During Tuesday Maintenance, the BS was taken to DAMPED and the CPS Interface chassis was power cycled in the CER.  This power cycled the satellite racks as well.  I did not un- & re-seat the gauge board cards in the satellite rack which is one thing we do to mitigate the elevated noise on a CPS.

Attached is a comparison of the BS Stage2 CPS between the spectrum Corey alogged here from June 3 and one taken this morning at 2am. This noise wasn't really too elevated but it sure looks much quieter now or this morning at least.  Will update/close the FRS.
